6×15=90
2(x + 15)=(x +90)
2x +30=x +90
x=90-30
x=60
2(x + 15)=(x +90)
2x +30=x +90
x=90-30
x=60

Suppose that father's present age = x years
Suppose that sum of present ages of children is y years.
So according to the question,
---------(1)
After 15 years,
Father's age = (x + 15) years
Sum of children's age = y + (15×6)
=> Sum of children's age = (y + 90) years
Since after 15 years,
Twice the age of father is sum of ages of children.
=> 2 (x + 15) = (y + 90)
=> 2x + 30 = y + 90
=> ----------(2)
According to the equation (1),
x = y
So putting y = x in equation (2),
=> 2x - x = 60
=> x = 60
